What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

All right @boogie3478 I watched the video, as I usually always do, and that was actually a pretty good DIY video. If you don't like fooling with the hose to drain when you remove the filter just put a plastic water bottle under it. The nipple will fit rt inside of the bottle and it will rest on the belt then you can just dump the waste and pitch the bottle. Keep it up like i said they're nice clear well edited videos

 

I couldn't get over how neat everything you did was. Gloves to remove oil filter, hose from oil filter catch pan, gloves to oil up the oring on the oil filter.

Good stuff though, I just put the fumoto on mine now that I'm done with free factory oil changes. The fumoto just seems so convenient.

 

waiting for more white to fall, right now its not deep enough for me to get some epic burial plow shots The trailer guy didnt take my offer but its still up for sale. Im going to wait patiently and re approach him at a later time

also doing maintenance on the truck for an upcoming December trip to arizona area

 

Good luck with it I really did think that was a pretty good trailer and pretty well equipped especially to start off with I wish I had some of that stuff

 

a trailer will come, just a matter of time

 

I love ours. I just can't wait to get all the rest of the stuff we need to get away from campgrounds and off the grid, so to speak. My work situation is kinda hinky right now so I'm not spending money on anything big right now but we'll get there.

 

i like white light and their jet seal

 

Today I finally finished refinishing and installing a used set of nerf bars I picked up off of a local seller. The finish was faded and had a lot of red overspray, so I refinished them with a couple coats of rustoleum bedliner. Used some mothers back to black on the step pads after a good scrub too. And replaced all the hardware with stainless. Im pretty happy with them and now my wife and my boy can climb in and out a little easier too.

 

What part of Oregon are you in?

 

The 285's cleared in the front but with the BAMF relocation I'll be doing in the rear in the next coming weeks, the BS won't enough to clear the Smoothies so it was one less thing I had to do. Would have looked funny if I put them in the rear and not the front.

 

Gave my interior a face lift. Love the new wheel!!

 

How. I need to know how. I want all of that

The steering wheel can be super expensive though. Got lucky and the most expensive part was the airbag for 300 bucks. But found a junkyard wth the whole column for 160 bucks so the wheel itself wasn't too bad.

 

replaced front passenger wheel bearing also the cv axle passenger side and breaks and rotors after getting the truck out of the shop for the driver side wheel bearing exploding and not being able to drive

 

I'd love to do all that! My damn day job keeps getting in the way...

 

Hey man you really need to start modding your truck some more.

 

Hauled some firewood!

 

Thanks buddy! Yeah I've seen the water bottle trick and will actually probably just do that next time because I thought there would be more oil inside of the oil filter than there actually was.

 

Thanks! Making a mess during an oil change is never fun. Off camera I did almost make a mess because I discovered that my brand new oil catch pan, after it was full of 5 quarts of old oil, is very flimsy ... making it nearly impossible to lift and pour into my recycling container. So now I need to go out and buy a STURDY oil catch pan.

 

Found this beauty at the trailhead....
